What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 124?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 480 and add up to 124?"

The answer to your question is:

4 and 120

Below we illustrate and prove that 4 and 120 multiply to 480 and add up to 124:

4 × 120 = 480
4 + 120 = 124

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 124x + 480 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 4 ) (x + 120)

To summarize, since 4 and 120 multiply to 480 and add up 124, you know that the following is true:

x² + 124x + 480 = (x + 4 ) (x + 120)
